Seeing Xu Huang's righteousness, Cao Ren finally agreed to his request.
While waiting for the flood to recede, Xu Huang waved his ax in the water as he prepared for the big battle in a few days.
At that time, Cao Ren obviously wanted to retreat. If Xu Huang had not offered to fight Guan Yu, it is very likely that the generals would have abandoned the city and fled. He felt that it was shameless to meet Cao Cao, and because he believed that he was younger than Guan Yu, he took some with him when he asked to fight. Take a chance.
Cao Ren heard that Xu Huang was sharpening his gun before the battle, so he was curious and rushed over to watch with Niu Jin.
"Xu Gongming is really brave, but is it too late to practice now?" Cao Ren showed an incredulous expression.
Niu Jin shook his head and smiled: "General Xu wants to be famous all over the world, but it's a pity that Guan Yu doesn't take it easy..."
Cao Ren stroked his beard and said to himself: "It would be great if Xu Huang can win. If Xu Huang can't win, wouldn't his morale be lower?"
"General, I have a plan to kill Guan Yu..." Niu Jin suddenly said.
Seeing that Niu Jin was speaking seriously, Cao Ren quickly urged: "Oh? Tell me quickly."
"General, do you remember when you were guarding Xiangyang? How you deal with Zhou Yu is how you deal with Guan Yu." Niu Jin showed a sly smile.
"You mean..." Cao Ren seemed to have thought of something.
"That's it." Niu Jin nodded affirmatively.
Cao Ren frowned and shook his head, "Xu Huang and Guan Yu are from the same hometown, I'm afraid they won't use them as bait..."
Niu Jin patted his chest and replied: "I will just use it as bait."
"very good."
Cao Ren hit his right fist on the heart of his left hand, and the flame of hope rekindled in his originally desolate and silent heart.
A few days later, the flood slowly receded, and the news that Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army spread like a virus in all directions. Nanxiang County, near Fancheng, was the first to be affected. Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, and Fu Fang, the prefect of Nanxiang, surrendered to Guan Yu.
In early September, Guan Yu commanded the army to besiege Fancheng, leaving only the north of Fancheng unattacked.
Before the siege began, Guan Yu once again sent people to the city to persuade him to surrender. This time, someone on the city actually took the initiative to invite the battle and asked for Guan Yu's fighting general by name.
Guan Yu was stunned after hearing this. He thought to himself, are there still people who want to die these days?
After a while, the south gate of Fancheng slowly opened.
Xu Huang walked out slowly with a big ax in his hand and astride a yellow gelding. Niu Jin led a group of people behind to hold down the formation.
"Time flies. We haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years. Junhou seems to be getting old. He listened to the teachings back then and benefited Huang a lot in his life..." Xu Huang walked up to the horse and clasped his fists to talk to Guan Yu about the past.
Guan Yu found out that it was his old acquaintance Xu Huang who was seeking death. He stroked his long beard and took a few steps forward. His original strong murderous aura also weakened a lot. In the spirit of answering old friends when they meet, he cupped his fists and returned the salute and said: "Gong Ming doesn't do it either." No matter how young you are, now that Cao Cao's situation is over, and all the seven armies in the imperial ban are prisoners, you are a fellow countryman from the east of the river, why don't you abandon the dark side and join the bright side, and assist the King of Hanzhong to help the Han Dynasty, without losing your loyalty to the country."
Xu Huang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he shouted sternly: "Liu Bei's false edict to stand on his own is a traitor. Following this man is like treason. I see that you are getting old. If you can tie yourself up in front of the formation, you will avoid death. Otherwise, you will die." Leave your head in a different place."
"How dare you do this, common man?"
Guan Yu was furious. He held the Qinglong Sword in his hand, sat down on his horse, and rushed over to grab it.
Xu Huang also rode towards Guan Yu and raised his ax to fight against Guan Yu.
Great axes and broadswords are weapons between blunt weapons and sharp weapons. They require higher strength from the generals themselves. Xu Huang originally wanted to use his strength in his prime to suppress Guan Yu's strength in his old age.
However, as soon as he took the move, he knew he had been fooled. Guan Yu's surge of powerful power suppressed Xu Huang so much that he couldn't breathe. He seemed to have seen Guan Yu twenty years ago.
Every time the Qinglong Yanyue Sword falls, there is huge pressure like a mountain collapsing and the earth is cracking. Every time you chop or block, you need to go all out.
The two fought for five rounds, and Xu Huang was sweating profusely. During the fight, Guan Yu found that he was indeed old. Although his strength was not much different from before, his flexibility was not as good as before.
After ten rounds, Xu Huang was in danger.
At the critical moment, Niu Jin shouted from behind the formation: "General Xu, retreat quickly, I will kill Guan Yu for you."
While he was talking, Niu Jin rushed up with a big sword. Xu Huang knew that his martial arts skills were still far behind, and he didn't know why Niu Jin was so brave. He could only get down the slope and flip Guan Yu's knife handle backwards. withdraw.
Guan Yu couldn't bear to kill his fellow villagers, so he poured out his anger on Niu Jin.
Seeing Niu Jin suddenly coming out of the battle, Gan Ning and Guan Ping both rushed forward. When they saw Guan Yu excitedly approaching him, they stopped where they were and did not continue.
"Idiot, suffer death." Niu Jin shouted and struck Guan Yu with his sword.
"How brave." Guan Yufeng's eyes were bluffing, and he held the sword in one hand to block the power of Niu Jin's sword.
There was a crisp sound.
Niu Jin's long sword almost fell out of his hand, thinking that Guan Yu's power was so terrifying, he reined up his horse in shock and ran away.
When turning around, Niu Jin did not forget to curse: "Red-faced old thief, I will kill you sooner or later."
"Common man, stay here for me."
How could Guan Yu tolerate it after hearing this? He said in his heart that you may have forgotten the name of my BMW, Chitu. He slapped the horse's butt and walked forward crazily, not intending to let Niu Jin return to the city alive.
Although Red Rabbit is a good horse and a divine colt, he is in the same old age as Guan Yu. Niu Jin rides Cao Ren's Dawan horse. Although it is not as good as Red Rabbit, it is still the best among horses.
Niu Jin turned back while running, always keeping a safe distance from Guan Yu.
"There may be fraud." Gan Ning reminded Guan Ping and at the same time, he also chased after him.
After hearing this, Guan Ping was shocked because he saw many archers appearing on the city tower. He quickly rode on his horse and shouted: "Father, be careful of cold arrows."
On the city tower, Cao Ren saw Guan Yu approaching, and then he shouted sternly at the archers: "Get ready, let's fire arrows at random."
Hearing the warning to Guan Yu to calm down, he quickly reined in his horse and turned around to leave, but a dense barrage of bows and arrows were already flying towards Guan Yu.
Guan Yu's whole body was protected by armor, so he didn't have to worry about being hit in his vitals, but when he waved the Qinglong Sword to block the arrow, an arrow hit his right arm.
"ah..."
Guan Yu's poisoned arrow was about to fall, but with his strong will, he grabbed the reins with his left hand, but his whole body was already hanging upside down in the air. The red rabbit horse seemed to be very spiritual, and it led Guan Yu back like this.
Seeing that his plan succeeded, Niu Jin was overjoyed. He rode back and called Xu Huang: "General Xu, if we don't kill Guan Yu now, when will we wait?"
Niu Jin laughed wildly and ran forward. Xu Huang was startled and followed him. Unexpectedly, his old friend was actually tricked.
The red rabbit horse was not dragging Guan Yu very fast. The sound of the horse's hooves behind him was getting faster and faster, and Niu Jin's ferocious face was getting closer and closer.
The moment the Dayuan Horse and the Red Rabbit Horse approached, Gan Ning, who stepped forward to rescue him, also arrived in time. He directly met the fallen Niu Jin with a backhand knife.
boom!
The violent force rebounded, and Niu Jin was almost knocked off his horse. He was so shocked that he was shocked: Is there such a fierce man in Guan Yu's formation?
Gan Ning would not be merciful. He knocked back the enemy with one sword, and the second sword followed.
